### 4/5 — Economy

*2026-02-20*

My only problem being the ticket functions. Would be much better if you could alter the ticket price for each individual route.- and slightly lower the tax to ~ 30% ish.

### 5/5 — BEST mobile recreational flight sim

*2026-01-25*

Fun, beautiful. You can see the  love and craft that was put into this. A love letter to aviation in the form of a game. Beautiful 3D pixel art style, mechanics that mimic real flight processes, surprising role play mechanics.

### 4/5 — Great Start, Few Suggestions

*2026-01-13*

So far, I’m really enjoying this game, but there are a few suggestions I have for the near future and eventual Steam release of the game. I’m more than happy to get in direct contact with the developer to discuss these suggestions. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to the future of Legendary Pilots!

Controls:
- Rudder slider for yaw control in air and steering on ground. Rudder controls bound to R2 & L2.
- Flap slider with increments on the UI, wheel brake & landing gear buttons for easier access instead of having to open a menu. Would also decrease clutter with Flaps & Gear indication on MFD display in corner.
- Flaps +/- bound to Y/X. Gear bound to L3. POV bound to Right Stick.
- Move touch control for yoke to the bottom left of the screen.

UI:
- Instead of using 1-8 keys for game menu navigation, I’d like to suggest FMS softkeys on the sides of the display.
- Hitting “Enter” in the NAV screen should automatically accept the input instead of having to press an additional button.
- Combine NAV controls & GPS display to combine menus. NAV screen could also display autopilot master button.
- Having better readability on the instrument gauges could also remove the need for the airspeed, altitude, heading, and throttle position information box.

Bugs:
- Communication screen for first officer and flight attendant does not show any options.

### 4/5 — Fun but limited content

*2026-01-02*

The game is well made but once you’ve acquired a few planes it’s very repetitive for now, hoping for more updates in the future

### 5/5 — Great game.

*2026-01-01*

If you are looking for a flight sim look away but if you are after a fun pilot sim type of game this is it, purchasing your aircraft and then hiring staff and then flying the route. It’s a great game already purchased the add ons, looking forward to more locations and also where they take it with updates. Few ideas a seatbelt sign via the hostess menu, and an option to serve meals and you get points deducted for serving in a turbulence type of thing. Many places you can take this and I’m looking forward to we’re they go with it but as it stands a great game so far with potential to go far.

### 4/5 — Fun Concept, Needs refinement

*2025-12-31*

The idea of this game is great. It’s also impressive that at this point in time it’s fully playable without requiring in app purchases. However, there are some bugs I am sure the dev will work through. Also, the interface needs updating to account for the Dynamic Island cutout.

### 5/5 — Piste d’amélioration

*2025-12-29*

Le jeu est une pépite qui doit devenir un lingot. Mettez nous la série des dc - Boeing des avions jusqu’à aujourd’hui ! + d’aéroports ! Franchement je crois en ce jeu

### 5/5 — Une pépite !

*2025-12-29*

Ce jeu est une pure merveille !
Pour tout fan de simulation d’avion ou même néophyte du genre comme moi je vous le recommande !
À la fois simulation, gestion, super cosy avec son ambiance, son immersion, sa prise en main et les détails je suis choqué de la qualité du jeu !
J’espère que le jeu nous sortira beaucoup de contenu en plus !

### 3/5 — Unfinished.

*2025-12-26*

Minimal controller support and unoptimized for fullscreen devices with cutouts. Its nicely stylized however

### 3/5 — Backbone control please

*2025-12-23*

Motion controls are too fiddly

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Got bored, nothing new!!!

*2026-05-16*

I played but nothing new routesc controls just the same routes, fire and cargo. Not interested anymore

### 1/5 — Airplane control👎

*2026-01-09*

👎👎👎👎👎

### 1/5 — No women pilots?

*2025-12-23*

I was really enjoying this game, so my daughter asked to download it. She was really put off not being able to hire any women pilots. I get this is a retro style game, but did you need to also bring back the rank sexism of the 90s too?

### 2/5 — Phone gyro doesn’t work

*2026-01-03*

I’ve tried everything when it comes to calibrating the built in gyroscopic system the game uses in order to pull up or nose down. It shows everything as fine but as soon as I set flaps to 15, full throttle and barley tilt the phone back the entire plane forces itself nose up where half the plane goes into the ground (clips through). So the only way to play is to force a controller on me which is okay but sometimes I don’t want to use a controller.

### 2/5 — Too Many Issues

*2025-12-22*

Gave the game a shot since I’m a big aviation nut. Love the arcade feeling of the game. Unfortunately it’s riddled with typos, visual bugs, and “controller support”. When trying to use a controller, only half the inputs work. A half baked experience overall.

### 2/5 — Could be amazing

*2025-12-20*

I’ve only played a little on phone but I don’t like that I have to use the phone to control the plane and no way of changing how sensitive it is. I really want to like this game and play it! The UI and everything is fantastic (some spelling errors) and I like the details of other flights in progress and such.

### 3/5 — Sexist and poor spelling/grammar but a good, calming game

*2026-02-24*

Why no female engineers?

The conversation has many spelling errors and mistakes but the interface is fun and the music is cool.  I find it a relaxing way to wind down after a long day.

### 3/5 — Review

*2026-02-23*

The game is good, but its get monotonous after a few mins. It needs a lot more to keep the user engaged

### 3/5 — Un jeu prometteur

*2026-02-11*

Ce jeu est sincèrement très prometteur. La progression est facile, la prise en main simple.
Il ne manque qu’une seule chose: de nouvelles cartes (gratuites), d’autres avions, et d’autres compagnies.
Le seul problème que j’ai remarqué ce sont les taxes qui sont de plus en plus élevées au fair et à mesure que l’on achète plus d’avions, ce qui fait que au bout d’un moment ce n’est juste plus rentable…

### 3/5 — Why

*2026-01-24*

Why is the engine failing often?

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Bom jogo

*2026-08-13*

Jogo com muito potencial, no momento é divertido e tem uma boa progressão.
Me impressiona não ter sido descoberto por mais players.

### 5/5 — !!

*2026-07-12*

The most relaxing pilot sim game i ever played

### 5/5 — Can’t stop playing, too fun, but there isn’t enough planes

*2026-06-28*

I love legendary pilots, best game I have seen in years. Only problem is, there aren’t many plane types. Maybe you could add a feature where if you are at the right rank, you can unlock international airports and bigger planes like the 757 or the A300. I love the game, big planes or no big planes, but I would still like it if international airports and widebodies or bigger aircraft in general could get added. If you want to do that, you can take your sweet time getting an update like that ready. But if you don’t want to do it, then that’s fine with me, I’ll never stop playing legendary pilots, no matter what(unless the game stops existing, which I hope never happens).

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2026-06-10*

This is a wonderful game that brilliantly mixes a gentle flight simulation with career progression. Everything is very atmospheric and relaxing, from the colour schemes, to the music and the heartwarming graphics. Plus developers are really honest and committed. First, the game is free and there are no in-game maps. No pay to win. The game loop is intuitive: you are a pilot in charge with your own air company. You start off with one aircraft and complete flying missions to get promoted, gain money and expand and maintain your fleet. The flying model is simple but effective and it includes some serious elements of simulation. Flying is satisfying and can be challenging in some circumstances. Missions include passengers flights (longer flights to major airports), aerial firefighting (short and very exciting) and cargo flights (short hauls to minor airfields). I love that the game includes these different kinds of missions, and I especially welcome the inclusion of aerial firefighting, which is rarely seen in flying games. There are different randomised weather conditions. There are training missions and free flight too.

There is a good selection of aircraft, including some classic planes. Progression seems fair and balanced. No in-game purchases are required to progress. You just need to fly. You can dip in and out in your own time, as different types of missions require different playtime (firefighting can be done in a few mins). The retro graphics are charming and mean that the game runs very smoothly.

The free game is set in the Pacific Northwest, but you can buy extra maps for the Alps and Brasil. I recommend buying them as they are cheap and increase variety and replayability. There’s also an extra planes pack, but it’s pretty useless as you can’t use those planes in normal missions, but only in training and free flight, which is a shame as they are quite expensive compared to the benefits they offer.

So far the game has been regularly updated, so I hope we will see more developments: especially new maps, aircrafts and types of missions.

Some feedback for improvement:
1. The game should be linked to the Game Center to save progress across devices;
2. At present, in flight, you can only press one command at the time (e.g. you can either move the throttle or lower the flaps). This impairs the ability to control the plane and should be changed.
3. The flaps/gears/brake menu is cumbersome and covers other controls when open. This should be replaced with on-screen buttons (perhaps at the bottom of the navigation/map/camera buttons on the top right corner of the screen);
4. Any extra planes available for purchase with real money should be available for use in normal missions (passenger/firefighting/cargo), not just free flight/training.

I hope the devs will keep this game on top and I will revise my feedback with the next updates. So far, well done to the developers for releasing such a unique and heartwarming game.

### 5/5 — Has much potential

*2026-06-06, version 1.0.3*

It’s a very nice vintage flight /company management simulation type game. It’s a bit rough around the edges right now but has great potential.

### 5/5 — Overall great game

*2026-05-17*

Type of games avgeeks need nowadays besides the realistic games…this goes crazy…i only suggest more realistic cockpit in the sense of switches control…otherwise the game is good

### 5/5 — Great but when does the PC version come out?

*2026-02-09*

Was kind of surprised to see it here as I have wishlisted it on steam for quite some time now.

Nevertheless a nice game definitely worth a try.

### 5/5 — Delightful game if a bit lean

*2026-02-07*

There’s some UI bugs here and there but the game is quite fun, though the excellent flight model feels a bit wasted on “merely” commercial flights. This set of flight dynamics is just begging to be an Ace Combat clone. 

Rebindable controls would be nice, but what we have is very serviceable, though the flaps being on the triggers is kinda baffling. 

I really look forwards to seeing more from this developer, I kinda love this game.

### 5/5 — Good relaxing game

*2026-02-04, version 1.0.3*

It is a very good relaxing game, hope they add more content and features

### 5/5 — Great start

*2026-01-25*

This game is something refreshing. Would really love to see new content added maybe new aircraft, more aircraft controls, and so on.
